Seriously?

Whomever invented the concept of "3 Month Pictures" should really be slapped. Ha ha. If you want a total laugh look at the Snapfish group room to see the Grace circus in action. So everyone says - "Grace never fusses!" - um, she does not take after her Dad in the camera department. Our little sweet angel SCREAMED. However, the two hours of pain did yield a couple of good shots and made Mom and Dad laugh like crazy when looking at the pictures after the fact. Enjoy!

Meeting the Man From the North

Gracie went to meet her newest friend Santa today. She needed Cousin Sophie by her side to assure her that he was AOK. Then she came home and told Daddy all about it.

All ready to meet Santa
Me, Sophie & Santa


I liked him!

A Week In the Life

Grace is a busy girl. All in the span of a week we have put up Christmas decorations, watched Tai play in the snow, prepared the big outfit for her 3 month pictures, met new friends and celebrated her first St. Nick's Eve. As you can see she was not a huge fan of the hat. Surprise. We did end up taking it back...The singing tree (Cousin Mary picked it out!) was the only thing that made me stop fussing while Mom was playing dress up the baby. Geez.

11 years old, whatever.

Gracie looks at the Christmas lights every time she passes the tree - thanks Grandpa S and Joan!

Let's just say she's not a hat girl

Athletic Supporter

Grace is a big hit at Batavia sporting events with her own wardrobe to boot. Compliments of Super Aunt Julie, of course.

Good Morning Unky Will!

Sorry, Gracie has been MIA on the blog for awhile. Now that she's feeling better she's a bit more camera ready. And as requested by her lovely Unky Will, here she is in picture and video! She's having a lovely morning lounging with a few of her absolute favorite things - her cozy Auntie Terri blankie and her fun musical play gym from Grandma T. We think Grandma T knew it was a surefire way to get a Gracie smile and laugh! Unlike her daddy, she seems to hold back for the camera a bit - we'll work on that...

Boy oh boy, she is sure smiling, talking and holding her head up now. And...of course growing -
11 1/2 pounds and gaining on her cousin!

Happy Halloween!

Good thing we didn't get a fancy costume for Gracie. Let's just say she ruined a potential costume option in regular Gracie fashion! Mom saved the outfit in time for the party and she still managed to get her Halloween on and party with a fancy goldfish.

The 12 Month Onesie Project

Ellen had a great idea - take pics of baby each month in a 12 month onesie to see baby grow. Ummmm...it looks like it almost fits!

My First Trip to Dubuque

What a fun weekend...granparents, cousins, Poppy's yearly concert, friends and a shower. However, Tai thinks we need to do something about our small car.

You may want to ask Grammy where this "tub" came from.

All dressed up for the shower.

Gracie wants to stay longer with Grammy.

Going home - Tai is not looking forward to the car ride!
